Missouri Cop 'Fighting For His Life' After Being Shot During Traffic Stop, Official Says

By Avianne Tan, Good Morning America

A police officer is "fighting for his life" after he was shot during a traffic stop this morning in Ballwin, Missouri, according to the city's police chief.

The incident, which was caught on police dashcam, happened around 11 a.m. local time when an officer pulled over a vehicle for speeding, Ballwin Police Chief Kevin Scott said at a news conference this afternoon.

After speaking with the driver, the officer went to his car to do paperwork, Scott said, and then the driver exited his vehicle, approached the officer's car, fired three shots, returned to his vehicle and fled.

We need to be very careful at this point in time. We can either escalate this issue to the point of Martial Law and all of our rights being taken away or we can act like civilized people and direct our anger against the very people who have screwed our country for years, OUR OWN GOVERNMENT!
